"And while the paper he wrote about killing Mexicans and disenfranchising non-whites got him some notoriety, he wasn't in trouble over it per se. He got in trouble after he took to Twitter to announce that " Jews should be abolished by any means." That tweet was read as a threat by the university and prompted them to expel Damsky to prevent the campus from becoming hostile."
"A federal appeals court has paused a self-described white nationalist law student's return to the University of Florida, a week after a lower-court judge ordered the law school to reinstate Preston Damsky by Dec. 1. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative stay Dec. 3 - a temporary hold on the judge's ruling - until a three-judge appellate panel weighs in."
Preston Damsky, a self-described white nationalist and law student at the University of Florida, authored a paper rehashing Klan constitutionalism and later tweeted that 'Jews should be abolished by any means.' The university expelled him, citing the tweet as a threatening statement that could make campus hostile. Damsky sued the university claiming First Amendment retaliation and won a lower-court order requiring reinstatement. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative stay delaying reinstatement while a three-judge panel considers the case. The case raises whether advocacy of abolishing a class constitutes an immediate actionable threat.
